Vase of Roses

Hello Classy friends, Diane here with you today!

Today I "picked" a bouquet of Roses for you and put them in an antique vase. Well, not really, but close to it!

I started my card with the gorgeous Banana Split - Pop Tone 100# paper, which I ran through my Cuttlebug using the Darice Doily Lace embossing folder.

I cute a beautiful vase using the Vase Set by Impression Obsession. This die is "new" to the store and you get 5 vase designs in one set to choose from. After cutting the vase, I used Crafts Too! Dots embossing folder, giving the vase an "antique hobnail" look. I sponged Tim Holtz Distress ink along the edges of the vase using the "new" Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool to add my ink.

The tiny little roses were made with another "new" die from Impression Obsession, that I just love, called

Spiral Flowers. There are five tiny little rolled flower dies in this set. They roll up quick easy, and turn out so cute. You will see me using these again very soon!

My butterfly is my all time favorite from Joy! Crafts from the Butterfly Trio set.

That is my bright and cheerful card for today! Don't forget, we have a weekly challenge with a fabulous prize you could win just for joining in with us...hope to see you there!

Your card so pretty with so much detail! Thanks Diane!

Tessatina Peony Card

Hi Classy friends!  It's Holly posting today and I've got a funky floral card to share with you.

That's quite a bit different from my usual style of cards, right?  I wanted to explore having a brief touch of stenciling behind a focal image, so I started by very lightly sponging some gray ink over the Texture Tessatina stencil onto some white cardstock.  I started it in the lower right quadrant and let it fade out from there.  I love the effect, and I plan to explore this some more.

Next, I cut two strips of paper from the Vintage Bliss 6"x6" paper pad (LOVE that paper pad!!) and adhered them to my stenciled background.  I then set this aside while I worked on my flower.

I dabbed some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Stain and some Peacock Feathers Distress Stain onto a nonstick craft mat, and dragged some white cardstock through the stains. Once this dried, I cut it out with the Lovely Peony Background die. I paired this with the Lovely Peony Outline die cut from black cardstock and then I glued this flower down onto the paper strips on my stenciled background.

For a touch of whimsy, I curled the opposite corner and then I glued this piece down onto a black card base.  It needed a little something more, so I looked through my bling and this Pink Rhinestone Swirl jumped out at me.  I cut a section of the swirl out from the package and then applied it between the curled corner and the flower.

I am in love with the fade-out stencil effect that I created on this card.  I do have some more stencils on order, so it's going to be fun to play around with these!  I hope you've had a chance to try the stencils in the shop. There are so many great ways to use them in your creations!

Love how the card just pops color all over! Thanks Holly!

Birthday Blooms

Hi, it's Misti sharing the card I made for this week's Happy Birthday challenge!

I don't know about you, but it seems like I go through more birthday cards than anything else especially this time of the year.  I made this card to send to my hubby's step mom.

I stamped the largest flower from Dahlia by Sparkle N Sprinkle onto my white panel. I stamped it again on another piece of white cardstock and cut it out.  I colored in both blooms with a red marker.  Then using some pieces of small Joy Foam Pads, I layered the image I cut out on top of the one stamped on the white panel. I didn't put it directly on top, but made it go in between the petals.  It looks a little fuller that way.

I layered that panel onto a piece of black cardstock from the Layering Swatches #2.

I took a piece of background paper from the Key to My Heart 12 x 12 paper pack and layered it onto a piece of Kraft cardstock. I taped my flower panel down and added a piece of Black/White polka dot ribbon. I made my cheater bow with a smaller piece of ribbon. I layered that onto a piece of black cardstock then onto my white base.

Last, I added some Wink of Stella to the top bloom to add a little sparkle. I hope you'll join us this week with a birthday creation.

What a lovely birthday card! Thanks Misti!
